Default Trade up
Hello everyone-

Haven’t been on in a while. Well I traded in the Heritage yesterday on a Street Glide Special. I knew it was dangerous to go in and “just look around”. I have to say that in the 24 hours that I have had it I love it. Too quiet, and the cockpit setup is a little off for me, ut we’ll fix that!
I’m 5’9” and the reach to the bars is odd. Probably a set of tall boys in the near future.
Looking forward to jumping back in and reading everyone’s opinions on setup.

Congrats on the Street Glide. I also went from a Heritage to a Street Glide. The riding position feels strange at first but over time you'll get used to it. But I still miss the bars on the heritage so new bars will be in my future.
